:In this case (since it was a personal friend of mine who was editing and we were talking on Facebook concurrently) I meant to say ... we dont double up a link in the body of the article that is already listed in External Sources ... I dont like play on  words too much ..so forgive me ONCE AGAIN. I havent really edited for a while and as soon as I do I am disciplined ... ROFL ...I find it highly amusing how I always get myself into "editing" discipline ... honest, if I lived in America I WOULD PAY YOU to tutor me in English because its SO hard! :-) [[User:Ixthis888|Vasiliki]] 22:42, September 1, 2008 (UTC)

If you want to "talk" or "tell me off" in private :-) you can email me via this link Special:Emailuser/Ixthis888.

Don't mess with Greeks.

A lawyer and a Greek are sitting next to each other on a long flight.

The lawyer is thinking that Greek s are so dumb that he could get over on them easy...So the lawyer asks if the Greek would like to play a fun game.

The Greek is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists, and says that the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5; you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says.

This catches the Greek s attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from The Earth to the Moon?' The Greek doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the Greek ’s turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?' The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net.

He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After one hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the Greek and hands him $500.

The Greek pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.

The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Greek up and asks,

'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'

The Greek reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.
